Background art thread

I'm looking for pictures of vast empty deserts or wastelands, with patches of technology scattered about here and there - small hive cities, tall towers, shipwrecks, anything like that. Bonus points if they're wrecked and abandoned.

You must chill. Not everything here will be your cup of tea. Try not to give yourself an aneurysm.
